My name is Maria. Thirteen years ago, I went for my new glasses. The Optometrist told me that he had to send me to a specialist. I asked if something was wrong, he said the specialist would let me know.
I went to the specialist and was diagnosed with Glaucoma, with a high eye pressure. So I was put straight away on two drops daily. Also laser surgery.
I’m happy that this was diagnosed early, before any damage was done. I go to the specialist regularly and my eye pressure is very stable now. I am eighty-nine years young. Thank you doctors!

Abbie was diagnosed with glaucoma as a newborn and had surgeries to control her eye pressure. Despite being short-sighted with nystagmus, she lives independently and runs a dance company called Blindful.
Suzanne learned she had glaucoma during an eye check-up when she was 65. Now, for the past five years, she has been receiving treatment to protect her eyes from further damage.
Patricia discovered she inherited glaucoma from her father after developing cataracts. She underwent a successful surgery and is now taking eye drops regularly. She now advises others to get tested early.
